Questions

Can AI tell me if a roof has storm damage from photos?

Don't rely on it. A photo can hide damage or make normal wear look bad, and AI can guess wrong. Use AI to write about what you found on the roof yourself, not to decide what is there.

Is it OK to have AI explain insurance claims to customers?

Yes, for the general steps, as long as the message says the insurance company decides what is covered and points people to their policy and their agent. Never let AI promise a claim will be approved or that a roof will be free. What a contractor may say or do during a claim differs by state, so check your own rules.

What details should I keep out of AI?

Leave out the homeowner's full name, address, policy number and claim number. Use placeholders like {first name} and fill them in later. The AI only needs what you found and what you plan to do.

How should I check what AI writes before I send it?

Read it for three things: facts you didn't give it, promises you can't keep, and words your customers wouldn't use. AI sometimes fills gaps with made-up details, like a warranty length. Fix those, then send.
